Recology Ashland provides compost, green debris, recycling, and garbage services to the Cities of Ashland, Talent, and Unincorporated Jackson County. Whether you’re a resident, business owner, or property manager, we work with you to tailor recycling programs based on your needs.

GREEN DEBRIS
Green debris carts may be used for lawn clippings, plant trimmings, leaves, and other plant materials (if it grows, it goes). Eligible customers include those within the city limits of Ashland or Talent, as well as those within the urban growth boundaries of both cities. Green debris is an additional service charge.

This is a great way to help keep organics out of the trash and our landfills. Branches must be less than three (3) inches in diameter, and must fit inside the cart provided.

COMPOSTCompost services (food scraps and yard trimmings) are available to commercial customers only. This program is also a big money saver for our commercial customers, since garbage service is a higher rate than compost service! Diverting food from the waste stream significantly reduces the global warming impact from landfills, as decomposing food waste is a major source of the greenhouse gas methane. Learn more about composting at home.

Glass and Motor Oil: Because of our semi-automated collection method, glass and used motor oil cannot be recycled in your commingled roll-cart. We will provide additional containers exclusively for glass and motor oil. Please do not place glass inside plastic bags.

Glass: All glass food, beverage jars and bottles. Remove metal lids and place in the trash bin.

Used Motor Oil: Put the used motor oil in a plastic container with a screw-top lid. Make sure it is well-sealed.

GARBAGE
What is trash? Not much! Thin plastics (bags and saran wrap), cat litter, ceramics, broken glass to name a few. Only put un-recyclable materials into your garbage cart.

On Call Program, Sticker Program & Pre-paid Yellow Bags

For customers who produce small amounts of trash.

These programs have been discontinued and are no longer being offered. However, if you have unused stickers or yellow bags, they will not expire and may still be used. Nothing will change until you use your last sticker or bag.

Once you’ve run out of stickers or bags, you may place your cart out no later than 7:00 a.m. on your service day, and your driver will empty the cart and make a note for the office. We will bill you for all pickups during the quarter. Customers with bag service will need to notify our office in order to deliver a bin for service.
